The Mini hatchback is so new that it doesn't arrive at UK dealers until the spring, but early buyers of the new car can already pick up a bargain.

The 1.5-litre Mini Cooper, complete with Chili Pack, is available with £1111 off its list price at Autoebid.com, bringing the price down to £16,439.

Another new small car enjoying early discounts is the Hyundai i10. The i10 recently picked up our City Car of the Year award, and buyers can pick it up with a £837 saving thanks to Orangewheels.co.uk. The i10 1.0 S Air model can be bought for £8158 as a result.

Another small car with a big saving available is the Kia Picanto, which comes with a hefty £1050 discount at Kiadealerdirect.co.uk. The Picanto 1.0 2 5dr ends up costing £8795.
